The Dog’s Master. What an unreal photo from Nigeria. The subject is a member of a group of itinerant minstrels, performers who use hyenas to entertain crowds and sell traditional medicines. The animal handlers are all related to each other and practise a tradition passed down from generation to generation. They are known as ‘Gadawan Kura’ in Hausa (a rough translation: ‘hyena handlers/guides’). (via matarua)
